Angela's Trinket Box

I decided to paint Angela's keepsake box with a country landscape of Ireland, because she likes Ireland, has visited there, and taken many beautiful photos there.And then in the little country cottage beneath the knotted vines, roots and whatnot. I thought I would try to put a little portrait of Angela in there. She had this lovely photo taken in civil war era regalia for a calendar. She visits Gettysburg frequently and is a guest of the Tillie Pierce house, and just loves the history of the area. This is still very much a work in progress that will require more fine tuning.

I really have nothing new to add to what has already been said. I have written to you many times that you have a nice style, and I still think it would work with children's books so well. You just need one good story and a little luck and I think you would be on your way to publishing many good children's books.
